BEST SUPERINTENDENT The 1960-61 school year has again presented numerous experiences to each of you; utilizing both your youthful vitality and your moments of stillness.

Timm, Class of 1905, provided the feature event at the annual Alumni Banquet where his “John E. Timm, Class of 1905 Award” was announced. The award will provide a cash gift each year to some worthy graduate of Lovington high school and the recipient is not required to have the highest scholastic honors. Mr. T. L. Conn, also of the Class of 1905, made the presentation in behalf of Mr. Timm and Mr. a P. Bicknell. president of the Board of Education, accepted the award. Mr. Timm, a native of Arthur, attended his last two years of high school in Lovington; making his home with an aunt and her family, Mr. and Mrs. Alby Hoots. After graduating with the highest honors of his class, he was awarded a teacher’s Certificate and taught at the White School, east of town, for the following year. In discussing his associations with Lovington, he recalled that, during that year of teaching, he lived in Arthur and, for the first three months, he walked from Arthur to the school and back--a round trip of ten miles. After maintaining a law partnership in Chicago for more than 40 years, Mr. Timms is gradually retiring from legal work. He credits a local lawyer, the late Art W. Lux, with inspiring him to join the legal fraternity and, after being in the railway mailservice for several years, he enrolled in the law classes at the DePaul University in Chicago where he attended classes by day and sorted mail by night.

A wealthy eccentric becomes involved, Fred’s model- ing career is revealed, and a simple party planned by his mother mushrooms in size and football is played in the living room. Giving the traditional Senior Play proved to be fun as well as work--with another tradition (the senior trip) sandwiched in between the rehearsals. New stage scenery was built, under the supervision of Mr. Williams, which can be rearranged and used for future plays by future classes at LHS. 25 Our friend Mr. Oscar Johnson Washington Bound The Honor Guard The Capitol--Shot in the rain! --And just to prove that we arrived! In our quest, we reviewed history and analyzed government from new perspectives. We pose in the caverns of Luray, Virginia. (We said ••Cheese ). One Monday morning before daylight on April 3rd. 1961, a tired, but happy group of Lovington High School Seniors returned to their homes. They had taken advantage of the Easter vacation to make a class tour which took them over 1800 miles and included Washington and points of interest in and around the city. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Thomas, class sponsors, and theirson. Doug, accompanied the group. According to the students, their outstanding memories of the trip include: Oscar Johnson, a wonderful bus driver who was a tolerant friend to all . . . Jim’s singing . . . Three miles to Fairfax . . . The seemingly ever-present Washington monument . . . Hospitality found in West Virginia . . . The green grass grows all around . . . Concentrated eight hours sleep . . . The beauty of the Japanese cherry blossoms . . . The excellent motel service at Elkins, West Virginia . . . And how good home looked upon their return! Individual students will be remembered for more specific things such as: Sara Burcham discovered that the trip was an education within itself. Dick Breedlove always managed to have a harem. Sandy Blankenship: “Mrs. Thomas, can I get in that line? Brenda Carter was a trifle unsteady on some carpeted stairs. Mickey Cochran’s comic book romances just didn’t work. Betty Coslow would be appreciated by most poultry fanciers (eggs). Steve Creviston: “What causes blood-shot eyes0 Richard Dick was comparable to the cherry blossoms. How he blossomed! Julia Dyer turned out to be a sleeping beauty. Leroy Fair exercised admirable restraint in not taking Connie Francis’s autograph. Regina Fleschauer: “Get your head back, Regina, or we’ll tell on you! Kathleen Franklin likes rare steaks rarely. Jerry Goad was guilty of-------- Jim Hamilton evoked stares as he recited his extem- poraneous poetry wearing a wreath of cherry blossoms. Ron Haws-------a prince charming. Doug Jones: “I’ll be glad when we get home so I can throw these away! ’ Byron Lambdin’s trip might have been more enjoyable if a certain junior had also gone. Larry Lowe studied entomology at the Smithsonian (blonde). Eleanor Montgomery: “There’s a sailor boy, Eleanor! Wrong one ! June McClard: “Hey! Stop the bus! ' Gary McCoy failed to answer the question: “How many ounces do y’all have in a bottle of Pepsi? Louise Miller: “It’s a long way between stops.’ Sue Miller utilized other people’s energy. Sue Noland was the victim of an uncontrollable quarantine. Nancy Phelps managed nightly pin-ups after curfew. Bernard Reedy failed to keep “his boys’ in their room. Garry Stovall made an active search for southern (?) belles (?). Joyce Trummel displayed a deep blush when the vocalist at the night club sang to her. Judy Winings--those long distance calls run into money! John Wool ridge was a true nightingale but unappreciated by the heavy-eyed. Doug Thomas: “If you please, Mam, I d rather be filled with food! Mrs. Thomas should remember to take along the key; it would be more responsive than Doug. Mr. Thomas: “Dad, you should take lessons from Mom!

Let this then be duly recorded among the official documents of Lovington Junior-Senior High School. Signed this nineteenth day of May, Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-One by the members of the Class of 1961. THE CLASS OF 1961 As Revealed by the Crystal Ball to the Class of 1962 SENIOR PROPHECY One day in the 1970's, 1 happened to be going by a circus and idly turned down the midway. Soon I picked out Garry Stovall among the crowd and we got to talking about old times at LHS. He was with his family and we all decided to take in the circus together. Since the main show didn't start for about an hour we thought we would take in the side shows. A ruby red head caught my eye as we walked past the dancers and I immediately identified her as Kathleen Franklin. Among the dancers was also Joyce Trummel and Nancy Phelps. The tall man and tall lady were marvelous; Micky Cochran and Brenda Carter. Those two finally decided to grow after their graduation. To the left of the midway was the sword swallower, Leroy Fair. I was afraid it was too dangerous an undertaking for him, but he was an expert at the job. The Hurdy-Gurdy Man, Jim Hamilton, played inspiring music on his organ. Jim had developed into a wonderful trainer; his pet monkey could understand every word Jim said to him. A barker was yelling: Step right up, folks, and see the fat man and lady. We moved forward and barely recognized Jerry Goad and Eleanor Montgomery. They HAVE put on a little weight since graduation. As we neared the end of the midway, there was one small side show set off from the rest. Under a mass of hair was Judy Winings, world famous for her bleached, blonde beard. She was sitting in the hand of the strongest man in the world, the noted weight lifter, Steve Creviston. When we entered the tent, the clowns came to greet us. We didn't recognize them until they spoke to us. They were Garry Stovall's classmates, Gary McCoy and Sandra Blankenship. Gary, voted the most likely to succeed, finally hit the circus! The Ringmaster turned out to be Richard Dick who announced the numbers in a clear ringing voice. He announced a famous acrobatic team. Although they were labeled with a foreign name we recognized Dick Breedlove and Betty Coslow, and they amazed us with their skill. Then the two daredevils on motorcycles came flying into the ring; Larry Lowe and Sue Miller. I was surprised to see Sue exerting so much energy but I guess she has changed since graduation. The brave, courageous, elephant trainer, who came into the ring next was Louise Miller, just returned from her honeymoon in Hawaii. A huge, white stallion came prancing into the ring carrying the world-famous horseback rider, SaraBurcham. Of course she was strapped to the saddle, because she was afraid of the whinny--whin-ny she going to fall!! We were surprised to learn that the famous snake dancer who followed on the program was June McClard. June put on a marvelous act with her writhing companions. Then Richard blew the whistle for the tattooed man and lady. Their act was an intricate one but John Wool- ridge and Julia Dyer performed skillfully as a team. There was only one problem, we learned. Julia just couldn't decide upon the color of her costume and was always changing it! The great lion tamer proved to be Bernard Reedy who was now able to use seven lions in his act because he wasn't afraid of them any more. The tightrope walkers, next on the program, were Sue Noland and Doug Jones and they held us breathless with their daring. How we admired their grace and poise! Finally it was time for the last event; the shooting of a man and woman from the cannon. Byron Lambdin and Regina Fleischauer had been picked for this particular honor because they made such a good couple to be the first to the moon. The cannon was fired and Byron and Regina could be seen hand-in-hand waving to the crowd below. When the crowd began to disintegrate the director of the clean-up squad, Ron Haws, came out into the ring to do his work. As we left the circus we marveled that we had managed to locate the entire Class of 1961 in the circus. Did having a sponsor who taught zoology direct their paths? . . . then we recalled tha the circus had been billed as Thomas's Terrific T ootsies ! 29 ROW ONE: Julia Dyer, Betty Coslow, Kathleen Franklin, Sara Burcham, Sandra Blankenship, June Mc- Clard, Regina Fleischauer, Sue Noland, Brenda Carter.

Little Glenda Long, a Queen in Minia- ture, was selected as prize material by the judges, Mrs. C. A. Hoke and Mrs. J. M. Keefe of Arthur and Mrs. Elzy of Sullivan. Hoola-hoops, a fad of the past, were revived by the Tom Reedy children. A beatnik theme, We'll Beatnik Beth- any won a third place award for the Freshmen. Their window placed sec- ond. It featured Hawaiian motifs sur- rounding the picture of their Hawaiian Princess, Sara. The Alumni Special, a train complete with signal post, was the winner in its class for outside organizations. Judging of the events took place on the football field following the parade. COMING The parade began at six O'clock and included pre-school and elementary stu- dents, bicycles, ponies, and walking costumes as well as floats. The Bethany band showed their skill as they participated in spite of dire pre- dictions. Queen candidates rode in open cars. Here Barbara Short (sophomore) and Sara Minor (freshman) are featured. The senior float (left and below) re- flected the political views of the time and also won a first prize. Sophomores were set to Clean 'em up . Their window showed short story books for children arranged around their candidate's picture. It's a Short story. they proclaimed. A second prize award was given to the juniors for their recipe for Mustang Soup . Their window, which placed first, used a farm scene as a background for their candidate's picture which was labeled!'

This publication, the 1961 Mirror, was begun early in the fall with the sale of ads by the Business Staff under the supervision of Mrs. Baker. According to our budget, the greater portion of our costs is covered by the adver- tising. That is why we are so proud of our advertisers. Meanwhile, the editorial Staff gets down to the routine work of planning the yearbook. Shall we plan to have a theme? Then WHAT shall it be? (Much discussion) That’s it! It shall be ••Time”! How much space should we allot to the seniors? To the other classes? What would be the best way to arrange the pictures on the pages? And we SHOULD have interesting copy! And we must decide upon the division pages and the liner to be used . . . Well--the year is over and the work is practically finished. The problems that arose have gradually been ironed out and, on the whole, we are pleased with the work. But it has been pleasure, too, and the fourth period (our regularly assigned period) has been a bright spot in the day. This 1961 Mirror is our Envoy and to it we say: Go. little book, and wish that all Memories of LHS fondly recall. Wish pleasant times, a spice of wit A home with love encircling it.

STUDENT COUNCIL We of the Student Council rep resent you--the student body. The purpose of our organization is to create a good relationship between the students and the admin- istration. When students so desire to better relations with the administration, they are developing a better kind of citizenship. Instead of leaving decisions entirely up to the faculty, the Student Council offers student-faculty cooperation. Thus the Council pro- motes self-government within the school and the students get some of the real training for life which is rightfully theirs. This year the Council formed various committees to function. They are the following: Activities. Larry Morrison, Chairman, Tom Winings and Gary McCoy; Publicity, Judy Winings, Chairman, Denny Stevens, and Debby Evans; Assembly, Tom Winings. Chairman, Larry Lowe, and Judy Winings; Noon-hour Recreation, Randy Cook. Chairman.

A We are the Future Homemakers of America; Our vision is eight-fold and world-wide. We ask our Father in Heaven To give us the strength and will To fulfill our purposes. The F.H.A. has a year crammed with activities. Within two weeks after the beginning of school, our cookie sale was in full swing. Then there was a joint hamburger fry with the F.F.A. boys. The Fall Initiation added 20 Freshmen girls to our number. Our carolling at Christmas season was fun. but the weather was cold enough to make us enjoy the hot refreshments that followed. In January, the Soup Supper proved to be a success, and we finished the year with a Mother’s Tea and Style Show which was well attended. We believe that we have shown that F.H. A. gives service to the community and they also enjoy their work. The F.H,A. is responsible for many services to the community, school, and welfare organizations. Among these are: collecting money for the Polio Drive for the 1961 March of Dimes, taking favors to the Nursing Home patients, and cleaning and polishing the school trophies and its case. In Section 14. our group has received awards and served in various areas. Meredith Bolsen completed her year as State President of the F.H. A. and presided at the Leadership conference at East Bay Camp. Joyce Trummel attended camp as Lovington’s delegate and served on the registration committee. Mrs. Norm Trummel has been the chapter mother this year and has proved to be a friend and advisor. Initiation Demonstration ROW ONE: Larry Lowe, Reporter; Steve Creviston, Secretary; Bernard Reedy.

Among these were the Rock Hounds Exhibit at the Masonic Temple in Decatur and the annual Engineering Openhouse at the University of Illinois.
